shortdesc Mongolian LaTeX.
longdesc MonTeX provides Mongolian and Manju for the TeX/LaTeX community.
longdesc Mongolian is a language spoken in North East Asia, namely Mongolia
longdesc and the Inner Mongol Autonomous Region of China. Today, it is
longdesc written in an extended Cyrillic alphabet in Mongolia whereas the
longdesc Uighur writing continues to be in use in Inner Mongolia, though it
longdesc is also, legally speaking, the official writing system of
longdesc Mongolia. Manju is another language of North East Asia, belonging
longdesc to the Tungusic branch of the Altaic languages. Though it is
longdesc virtually not spoken anymore, it survives in written form as Manju
longdesc was the native language of the rulers of the Qing dynasty (1644--
longdesc 1911) in China. Large quantities of documents of the Imperial
longdesc Archives survive, as well as some of the finest dictionaries ever
longdesc compiled in Asia, like the Pentaglot, a dictionary comprising
longdesc Manju, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uighur and Chinese. MonTeX provides all
longdesc necessary characters for writing standard Mongolian in Cyrillic
longdesc and Classical (aka Traditional or  Uighur) writing, and Manju as
longdesc well as transliterated Tibetan texts, for which purpose a number
longdesc of additional characters was created. In MonTeX, both Mongolian
longdesc and Manju are entered in romanized form. The retransliteration
longdesc (from Latin input to Mongolian and Manju output) is completely
longdesc realized in TeX/Metafont so that no external preprocessor is
longdesc required. Please note that most of the enhanced functions on
longdesc MonTeX require a working e-LaTeX environment. This is especially
longdesc true when compiling documents with Mongolian or Manju as the main
longdesc document language. It is recommended to choose pdfelatex as the
longdesc resulting PDF files are truly portable. Vertical text generated by
longdesc MonTeX is not supported in DVI. This version of MonTeX makes all
longdesc former versions of MonTeX and ManjuTeX obsolete. [description
